Birdy Hour: Osprey - Egg Incubation, Chick Rearing and Wild Fostering - Livestream

In 2023, Wild Care's Executive Director Stephanie Ellis was tasked with incubating two sets of Osprey eggs, raising the chicks and finding them suitable wild foster nests. This year, she has been placing Osprey eggs (from USDA) into active nests, and working with a local utility company to get chicks into foster nests when they have been displaced by storms and nest fires. In this special CFC Birdy Hour, Stephanie will discuss this intensive process along with two years of successes and challenges. She will also touch upon the history of Osprey on Cape Cod - a true conservation success story, coexisting with Osprey, and the legalities involved in working with Osprey nests, eggs and chicks.
